Simple Ornaments

I have not been working on my Christmas cards as much as I would like, but I did manage to create one this week.
This is a really simple one, but I like how it turned out none the less.
 
I used the color challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown to inspire my card. The color challenge was black, white, and metallic gold. 
My card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4."  I made the card base from black cardstock.  I cut some glittery gold cardstock at 5 3/8"x4 1/8."  I then cut a black mat at 5 1/8"x3 7/8" and my white piece is 5"x3 3/4."  I stamped the three ornaments across the top of the card.  I then hand drew the string they are hanging from.  I "colored" the ornaments with golden rod Stickles and stamed the sentiment to finish it off.
 
I also finished the inside of this card.  All my interior pieces are cut at the same sizes as the ones of the front.
